Tips

Exam tips

Marks come from key words

  • Give the number of marks’ worth of points the question asks for.
  • Quote the equation, substitute the values, then give the answer with its unit.
  • Check every quantity is in SI units before you substitute.
  • In Paper 6-style questions, write the observation, not the conclusion.

Questions

About the Paper 2 style

How long is the real Paper 2 and how should I pace this set?

The real Extended multiple-choice paper gives 45 minutes for 40 questions — just over a minute each. Sit this set against the clock, flag anything slow, and come back to it at the end.

Are these real Cambridge questions?

No. These are original QuizQuip questions written against the 0625 syllabus in the style of the Extended paper. We never host or copy Cambridge past-paper questions.

How is the answer key balanced?

Like a real paper: the correct letters are spread evenly across A, B, C and D with no runs, so guessing a pattern gains nothing. Work every question on its physics.

What if I get a Supplement question wrong?

Each explanation tells you which idea was tested. Follow the link back to the topic notes, revise that objective, and re-attempt the question a day later.

Is QuizQuip connected to Cambridge?

No. Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge are trademarks of Cambridge University Press & Assessment. QuizQuip is independent — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Cambridge. All notes and questions are original QuizQuip material written against the published 0625 syllabus.
